Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a specific mixture of gangliosides, a process which selectively eliminates contaminants associated with non-conventional, life-threatening viruses, without altering the biological and pharmacological characteristics of the mixture with regard to its effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems.
- Gangliosides glycosphingolipids containing sialic acid
- GM 1 , GD 1a , GD 1b and GT 1b are normal constituents of all cell membranes in mammals and are abundant in the nerve tissue.
- Four gangliosides, GM 1 , GD 1a , GD 1b and GT 1b constitute 80-90% of the total ganglioside content of the mammal brain.
- Gangliosides are specifically localized in the outer layer of the plasma membrane, suggesting that they play an important role in many biological activities, for instance as a "sensor” and/or receptor for various molecules, and in the transfer of information through the cell membranes (Fishman et al.: Science 194:906, 1976). They therefore play a key role in the regulation of neuronal development and repair in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
- gangliosides are able to favorably influence functional recovery following lesion in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS), by the involvement of specific membrane mechanisms and by interaction with neurotrophic factors as revealed by in vitro studies on neuronal cultures (Doherty P. et al., J. Neurochem. 44:1259, 1985; Skaper S. et al., Molecular Neurobiology, 3:173, 1989).
- gangliosides can inhibit the translocation and activation of protein kinase C induced by glutamate (Vaccarino F. et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 84:8707, 1987). This action is very important in conditions of ischemic damage, where there have been reports of a crucial role played by excitatory amino acids, such as glutamate, which trigger a cascade of events leading to neuronal death. This mechanism could favor the survival of neurons in the area around the lesion, prevent retrograde degeneration, and accelerate the reparative growth response to local trophic factors.
- gangliosides have been used as therapeutic agents in almost all forms of peripheral neuropathy, from those forms resulting from mechanical damage to those caused by toxic factors or deficiencies, from infectious and inflammatory disorders to metabolic dysfunctions.
- These drugs have proved to be equally efficacious in mono and polyneuropathies, in sensory-motor disorders and in pathologies affecting the autonomic nervous system, such as in many neuropathies affecting the cranial nerves, for instance Bell's palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and neuralgia caused by herpes zoster.
- Gangliosides and in particular the monosialoganglioside, can be widely used in all pathologies connected with acute lesions in the CNS of a vascular or traumatic type and in the sequelae of such pathologies (cerebral ischemia, cranial and spinal trauma).
- suitable ganglioside mixtures for example a formulation of the following kind: GM 1 from 18% to 24%, GD 1a from 36% to 44%, GD 1b from 12% to 18%, GT 1b from 16% to 22%, or the single ganglioside fractions, particularly the monosialoganglioside GM 1 , present biological activities such as those described.
- GM 1 from 18% to 24%
- GD 1a from 36% to 44%
- GD 1b from 12% to 18%
- GT 1b from 16% to 22%
- suitable ganglioside fractions particularly the monosialoganglioside GM 1
- these gangliosides, as suitable mixtures or single fractions, in particular the monosialoganglioside GM 1 are extracted from mammal brains and it is therefore necessary, given their particular biological function and their therapeutic application previously described with regard to the peripheral and central nervous systems, to utilize purification methods which guarantee a final product which is absolutely pure and free from biological and
- BSE bovine spongiform encephalopathy
- BSE belongs to a group of degenerative encephalopathies of the central nervous system which are invariably fatal in outcome and are caused by a group of non-conventional, infectious agents (Fraser et al., Vet. Record 123:472, 1988; Hope et al., Nature 336:390, 1988).
- This group also includes scrapie of sheep and goats, the chronic emaciating disease which afflicts captive deer, infectious encephalopathy of mink on mink farms, and two human diseases; kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease.
- the histopathological lesions caused in the brain by these diseases are similar in all cases and are comparable to those caused by BSE.
- mice transmitted the disease to mice by feeding them infected brains. It was the first proof that BSE could be contracted by eating infected material. No other tissue from afflicted animals (spleen, spinal cord, lymphatic tissues, milk etc.) was able to produce the disease in mice.
- the agents which cause subacute infectious encephalopathies are extremely resistant to standard decontamination processes. Available data on this aspect mostly originate from studies on the inactivation of agents of scrapie and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease.
- the etiological agent of scrapie is highly resistant to temperature change. When exposed to temperatures of up to 80°C their infectiousness is only slightly reduced; higher temperatures however markedly reduce infectiousness (Hunter et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 37:251, 1964). A small quantity of infectious "virus” sometimes persists when suspensions of infected material are heated to 100°C for 1 hour or to 118°C for 10.minutes.
- PrP C cellular prion protein
- MBP myelinic basic protein
- MBP a protein that in man and most vertebrates has a molecular weight (MW) of about 19.5 kd. It is present in three molecular forms in human myelin and in six in that of the mouse, coding by a single gene located on chromosome 18 and it constitutes about 30% of the total myelinic protein. Its exact topographical location is not yet certain. It has been observed in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes only at the moment of myelinization. A protein considered identical is present in the peripheral nervous system (protein P1), and the ability of peripheral myelin to induce experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in laboratory animals is due to it.
- protein P1 peripheral nervous system
- EAE experimental allergic encephalomyelitis
- EAE allergic experimental neuritis
- bovine genomic DNA Another contaminant to be considered in these preparations is bovine genomic DNA.
- biologically active proteins which can be used as pharmaceutical agents, has made it necessary to analyze the final products for the presence of DNA residues, belonging to the cell where the desired protein is expressed.
- gangliosides to be used in vitro and in vivo studies should be free from other compounds such as asialogangliosides and glycocerebrosides. These substances, if present in high concentrations, can have important immunological implications and can also lead to erroneous experimental considerations.

- the aim of the present invention is to supply a product characterized by the absence of slow viruses obtained by an advantageous process which can be applied to industrial production, and a process, the innovativeness of which is founded on the suitable sequencing of its various extraction phases.
- This process which eliminates during its various phases infectious contaminants associable with slow viruses such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, allows the activity of the mixture, which represents the therapeutic activity of the product itself, to remain unaltered.
- the product deriving from this process is constituted by a definite mixture of gangliosides or single fractions obtained from bovine brain or parts of the same.
- the process according to the present invention is composed, for the above reasons, of the following main phases:
- the bovine brains used in the process for extraction of the ganglioside mixture showed, on histological analysis, fibrils typical to tissues belonging to materials from animals with the infection.
- the liquid phase was filtered through a filtering funnel at a temperature of +4°C.
- a suitable amount of calcium chloride and acetone was added to the liquid, it was left under stirring for about 30 minutes and centrifuged at 6000 x g at +10°C.
- the precipitate (raw material 1) was finally allowed to dry overnight and then for 5 hours in a high vacuum.
- Recovered raw material 1 was resuspended in 10 to 18 ml of a mixture of water/chloroform/methanol.
- the pH was adjusted to around 12 with 5N NaOH.
- the whole was heated to between 38° and 43°C from 4 to 8 hours and left under stirring.
- the product was dried in a high vacuum, resuspended in 6 to 15 ml absolute methanol and then kept hot for about 2 hours while stirring the solution from time to time.
- the suspension was then quickly centrifuged at 6000 x g and the supernatant was placed in a freezer for about 2 hours.
- the opalescent white solution was then centrifuged at 0°C at 600 x g and the precipitate was dried in a high vacuum.
- the product was gathered in 1N sodium hydroxide and left in contact with the solution for at least 1 hour at room temperature.
- the pH of the suspension was brought to an approximate pH value of 9 and dialysed with a membrane having a MW cutoff of 10 kd against a suitable volume of distilled water.
- a suitable amount of sodium chloride and acetone was added and centrifuged at +5°C at 6000 x g, and then dried in a high vacuum (finished product).
- the sample was taken up in 10 mM of phosphate buffer pH 7.2 and sterilized at +121°C for 30 minutes (finished, sterilized product).
- an important aspect of the process of the invention is the provision of a ganglioside product which is free of undesirable contaminants, particularly free of non-conventional viruses.
- the animals used in these experiments were Golden Syrian hamsters (LVG/Lak). Tests for infection were carried out on groups of four weaned, female animals which had received intracerebral (i.c.) inoculation with 0.05 ml of the samples diluted ten times in sterile PBS. The intracerebral inoculations were effected by trained staff using disposable glass syringes with 26G, 3/8-inch sterile needles.
- the animals were examined twice a week or more, for a period of 12 months, for the onset of the characteristic neurological, clinical symptoms. The onset of early symptoms in each animal was recorded, and the animals were sacrificed when the disease was well established. Their brains were divided in two halves, one fixed in 10% formalin and the other preserved at -70°C. Pathological diagnosis was made in all animals which died of suspect causes and those which had shown signs of neurological disorders. At the end of the observation time, all surviving animals were sacrificed and pathological assessment was made of their brains.
- the infective titer was calculated at the "final end point" according to the method of Reed and Munch, and is expressed as log LD 50 /ml.
- scrapie protein PrP Determination of scrapie protein PrP is made by polyclonal antibodies specific for the purified protein analog from murine brain and which cross-react with the scrapie PrP of bovine origin. The Western Blot method was used for the determination. The presence of the scrapie PrP was evaluated by comparison with the standards for proteins with various molecular weights.
- MBP protein Determination of the MBP protein was made by polyclonal antibodies specific for the purified protein analog from bovine cerebral tissue. The method used for the determination is that of the Western Blot. The presence of the MBP was evaluated by comparison with the standard of proteins with various molecular weights.
- Determination of the bovine genomic DNA was performed by the DOT BLOT technique on samples taken at different phases of the processing according to the method known to those skilled in the art. To consider the sample valid, the presence of spots should not be noted in the depositions of the heterologous DNA. The absence of spots in the samples examined in the radioautography shows the absence of bovine genomic DNA.
- Figure 2 shows the results determined by immunochemical analysis with anti-PrP 27-30 antibodies of samples coming from some intermediate stages of the ganglioside preparation and purification process.
- the number codes of the analyzed samples corresponds to the numbers in parentheses given in the purification diagram of Figure 1.
- Bands with an asterisk refer to nonspecific cross-reactions attributable to the system of amplification of the assay.
- Figure 3 shows the analysis of bovine genomic DNA by the DOT BLOT technique on samples taken from various passages of the process.

- the code of the samples corresponds to the numerals indicated in the purification diagram of Figure 1.
- MBP recognized by the polyclonal antibodies used are in parentheses.
- Figure 5 shows the results of chromatography on silica gel of the following samples (also according to the process outlined in Figure 1):
- Figure 6 is an example photograph to show the biological activity of the ganglioside mixture prepared according to the invention (the arrows indicate the sprouting) on a peripheral nerve.
- Figure 7 shows results of immunochemical analysis with anti-PrP 27-30 antibodies of samples taken from some intermediate passages of ganglioside purification and preparation processes.
- the code of the analyzed samples corresponds to the numerals indicated in the purification diagram of Figure 1.
- the 925 mg of raw material 1 recovered from the reaction container were resuspended in 18.5 ml of a mixture of chloroform/methanol/water and 0.74 ml of the homogenate to obtain a titer of 1% w/v.
- the pH was adjusted to an approximate value of 12 (assessed with a litmus paper) adding 5N NaOH, and the mixture was magnetically stirred at 40°C for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was neutralized with 6N HCl and an aliquot of 250 ⁇ l was retained for the purposes of biological assay.
- Table 2 reports the results obtained by biological assay.
- assessments made in this model are valid instruments when investigating the possible therapeutic application of a drug in functional recovery of the nervous system.
- Mouse C 1300 cells clone N 2 A, supplied by America Cell Type Collection (Bethesda, Maryland), were plated at a concentration of 10,000 cells per well (24-castor) in the presence of Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing P/G (100 U.penicillin/ml) and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS from Seromed, batch 4-CO4).
- DMEM Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium
- P/G 100 U.penicillin/ml
- FCS fetal calf serum
- the cultures were kept at 37°C in 5% CO 2 in a humidified atmosphere (Haerus incubator). The cultures were then fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde at the appointed time (24 hours later).
- the ganglioside mixture (3 different batches, Nos. 1-2-3) was dissolved in chloroform/methanol 2:1, dried in a stream of nitrogen, resuspended in DMEM + P/G + 10% FCS until the desired concentrations were reached.
- the medium was drawn off the wells and substituted with 350 ⁇ l of DMEM + P/G + 10% FCS ⁇ product under examination (at the aforesaid concentrations).
- control cultures were treated in the same way, without the addition of the ganglioside mixture.
- the cultures were then kept in an incubator for 24 hours, after which the cells were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde and observed under a microscope.
- the effect of the ganglioside mixture is dose-dependent with maximum efficacy at the dose of 1 x 10 -4 M (Tab. 4). Effect of ganglioside mixture (batches 1, 2) on neurite formation in mouse neuroblastoma N 2 A cells.
